Egg Decorating Set - $32Item# F8148

She can help her doll celebrate spring with this doll-sized egg-decorating set! It includes all these make-believe supplies:An egg cartonFive crayons in a boxThree bottles of dye in a boxTwo bottles of glitterTwo patterned eggs in cupsColorful decorated eggs on a white display stand topped with a bunnyAn oval tray to hold it all

(Yes, Samantha & Nellie are dying eggs. Anachronisms be darned! )

Oval Tray: APros: I love that all of the pieces fit on the tray! I also love the decorative edge. Cons: None.

Egg Carton: BPros: Very cute, and I love the color scheme.Cons: The eggs don't come out and it is very plastic-y. Also, I feel like with some rough play, the hinge on the carton may wear out and the top may fall off. The screws in the bottom kind of screw it up too.. (no pun intended)

I don't have a dollar tree bubble gum egg carton on hand, but I've had them before and this one is comparable. I picked up some sparkly eggs at the dollar store the other day and they are about twice the size of the AG eggs.

The eggs that came with the 2003 Easter Basket set fit in the carton perfectly.

Display Stand: A+Pros: My favorite part of the set! So cute!Cons: Again, the eggs are attached.

Eggs in Cup: APros: Very cute! Again, love the colors!Cons: Promotes unrealistic expectations of egg dying. I mean, who has perfect stars all over their eggs?! I can just hear it now.. "Mommy, I want my egg to look just like that!!"… Also, again, screws in the bottom.

Crayons: A+Pros: Again, love the colors, and I love that the crayons come out of the box!Cons: May be easily lost.

Overall: A-Pros: SOO Adorable! I love the color scheme and I love Easter-related accessories! I feel like it is a good value for the price. I love all of the little pieces.Cons: The eggs aren't removable, which may be a bigger deal for some than it is for me. Since I will just be displaying it, it is just mildly annoying. If it had been any more expensive, I would have had to seriously think about it. I think the price is spot-on.
